Suitable for a student, the versatile High Definition High Fidelity laptop PC is easy to carryAsus ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402VA-KM596W nomad with a battery life of 10 hours benefits from a 14-inch 2.8K OLED DCI-P3 screen and fast SSD storage with a large capacity of 1 TB which reinforces its responsiveness and speeds up processing. This is also the case for the hybrid Core i7-13700H Intel Raptor Lake processor with Iris Xe graphics and the 16 GB of high-performance RAM suitable for modest gaming present in this silver aluminum Ultrabook. This thin and light compact Windows 11 laptop is also equipped with a backlit keyboard accompanied by a NumPad numeric keypad module, a biometric fingerprint reader as well as Wi-Fi 6 and 2 USB-C connectivity Thunderbolt 4.

Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402VA-KM596W
With its light silver compact aluminum design, thin and light, robust due to its compliance with the MIL-STD-810H military resistance standard, this versatile Ultrabook has a sober and elegant appearance.
This versatile laptop PC has good connectivity including 2 USB 4 Type-C Thunderbolt 4 (compared to 1 maximum usually), Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a video output Practical HDMI for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example, but also 1 USB 3.2 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device.
Biometric authentication through Windows Hello is possible via the integrated fingerprint reader.
When you are not using the webcam you can deactivate it (and then activate it) in order to preserve privacy. Simply press the dedicated F10 and F9 keys.
We can obviously backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard when we need to better distinguish them in the dark.
The keyboard comes with NumberPad functionality. Once activated, NumPad transforms the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad to more easily enter numbers.
Because like any model smaller than 15 inches, there is no physical numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard due to lack of space.
An undeniable advantage of this configuration, the screen will delight fans of High Fidelity and High Definition, as well as creative people.
It indeed adopts OLED DCI-P3 specifications. As a result, it offers much more faithful color accuracy than average with very deep blacks, low latency as well as significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles.
The screen also has a 2.8K definition that is clearly superior to Full HD, which is suitable for High Definition content, while its 16:10 format displays more information in height than the standard 16:9 format.
Due to its OLED technology, the screen has a glossy treatment which gives punch to the colors but is subject to reflections in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performances, autonomie de l’Asus ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402VA-KM596W
The Asus ZenBook 14 OLED UX3402VA-KM596W may appeal to those who wish to acquire an elegant, easy-to-carry High Definition High Fidelity laptop computer equipped with a high-performance processor for versatile multimedia-oriented nomadic use.
Nomads like some looking for a student laptop PC will be delighted that this Ultrabook lasts around 10 hours on battery in light use, especially as its lightness, compactness and finesse make it easy to transport.
However, this versatile laptop PC delivers good overall power which will appeal to demanding users since it relies on 16 GB of RAM. And above all an Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-13700H processor with 14 hybrid cores in which the Iris Xe graphics module takes place.
Creators will be particularly interested in this heart. Because the processing it provides is much faster than 8 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor. We clearly feel the difference in areas that are intensive in RAM and CPU resources and take advantage of multi-core, such as video editing or photo editing.
No graphics acceleration, however, for multimedia processing since no dedicated graphics card is on board. The players will therefore also move on. Unless of course they’re just playing light to modest games.
However, to play we will make some adjustments such as reducing the screen definition. Because 2.8K requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
The storage is up to par because it is entrusted to an SSD which consumes less energy than a hard drive (which promotes autonomy) while being more resistant to shocks, silent and much faster.
Thanks to the SSD we obtain much faster processing than with a hard drive, as well as starting/stopping and launching applications, and we can access online game cards more quickly.
Generally speaking, the SSD ensures much better responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis than a hard drive.
In addition, here we are dealing with a 1000 GB SSD, a capacity that easily rivals hard drives in this area, enough to install and store multiple software and files, including personal productions.
